I am currently porting an application to MacOS X which needs to
function as an AppleTalk Printer Access Protocol server.  Basically,
it needs to be able to register itself on the AppleTalk network so
that MacOS 9 users can print to it as a PostScript printer using the

I'm writing a program and I want to be notified if a volume is
ejected/inserted.
Sounds easy?
Here are the details:

I downloaded the Safari SDK from the ADC site, but the install process
quits at the point of selecting the destination: both hard drives have
a red "!" near them and the only choice is to go back. What could be
causing this? Thanks.

Where can I find information for doing assembler programming for the
G4 and G5 processors under Darwin?  I would also like to know about
the executable (binary) file format and linker/loader.
Thanks

I've mentioned before that by using DrawString() to put text on the
screen there is no anti-aliasing, so it looks out of place on X systems.
Is there a straightforward replacement for this call that would go
through the AA code? I've been pointed at DrawThemeTextBox() but this

Is there anyone could walk me through building/including/using libcurl
in a CW OSX project?
I can use Curl in the terminal OK, and just need the equivalent of this

To launch an application from my C tool I call
fork() and execl(path_str, path_str, NULL) where

Who could tell me which language using for the first time in macintosh

will work on my Mac? I downloaded Emacs 21.1 but it doesn't run - I
double-click the icon and nothing happens. I have an emacs which runs out of
the shell, but I want one which works by itself (as a separate ...

My in-house app will need to upload a simple text file to a fixed ftp
server. As I know that these simple requirements won't change, I was
hoping I could avoid studying a whole new set of net technologies just
at this moment and find some existing library code to do this. I know

While modern Mac's don't have serial ports, there are USB<>Serial port
adapters.  I would like to program an application in Java that uses such
an adapter, but don't know where to start.

I am learning MAC programming using codewarrior 9, to develop an application
that should run on OS9 and OSX. Since my experience is windows based, it is
not so easy :(
I need a few LTabControls in my app, but it seems the included documentation

I am having a wired probem with POSIX shared memory on MacOS X (10.3).
Even the simplest calls to shared memory functions fail. Here is the
source code:

Hello all,
Is there a good tutorial on-line regarding how to create and use a
